A working Quantum computer with sufficient capacity will obsolete EC, RSA etc.
It will all be game-over.
End of story. [At least mostly.]
But by the time a quantum computer with the sufficient qbits becomes available,
we'll likely understand [a lot] better the ramifications of such a machine and
will likely have some sufficient response. From my quite limited understanding,
I think even our theoretical understanding of quantum computing, and its impact
on cryptography as a whole, is pretty limited. As a result, I think counter
measures or responses to QC and cryptography questions/issues are also quite
immature.
So, I don't think it's worth while doing a lot at the current moment in an
attempt to avoid QC attacks. IMO, any evasive steps you might take are as
likely to be effective as chance - and thus not worth the effort.
Just my $0.02
